has anyone tried them on their older stang?

the commercial is convincing.
Kragen has them for $25 each (kinda steep for headlights...maybe worth it)

i wonder if they are higher wattage or just better technology than others?

 

I liked the comercial too. But to be honest, If a star flew up my rear end more than just my head lights would glow brighter!

For $25.00 I'd want to see it for myself. DOT has limited the wattage allowable for highway use. So unless they've come up with some kind of Unobtanium filiments or mirror coatings, I'm thinking they've just modified the lens prisms to change the beam focus. This will either brighten the close in and side view at the expense of long distance brightness, or dimmed the close in and side view to allow a brighter longer beam. Now if they've moved the low beam filiment further from away from the high beam filiment they could actually have created a better "all around" light, as the filiments could then act on different parts of the mirror and lens prism. This would make the bulb much more expensive to produce, and would be worth the money to me. The nice thing about standard DOT legal bulbs is that they do not pull high currents that ruins our wiring and switches.

 

Would they have those for my 69? (which has separate high and lows)

 

The big deal with the Silverstar light bulbs is they have a whiter light output. A typical old head light gives off a somewhat amber or yellowish glow. The advent of the Halogen meant a brighter, yellowish glow and lasted longer.

Along came the HID (High intensity discharge) lights that replace the filament of the light bulb with a capsule of gas. The light in HID lights is emitted from an arc discharge between two electrodes.

The Silverstar light bulbs are a brand name and are Halogen bulbs trying to match the brightness of the HID bulbs. The come very close and some cant tell them apart.

Check Ebay before you buy.........Cheers [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

I run aftermarket *whiter/bluer* colored lights in my ram because I used todo a lot of hiway driving at night. They work great if there isn't alot of light from things like street lights. Out on an open hiway at night you can see forever it seems like, but when you get in town with other yellowish colored light it becomes alil difficult to see. Least thats what happens to me. Here is a link for a rice site that has some pics and info. Lights link
